Here are a few of nude renditions in charcoal. All measure in the proximity of 70cm x 45cm.

I do not do nudes any more and if I do it will be for study purposes ONLY.

Understanding how light defines form is a important study for artists. At the least the understanding of realistically representing color/value is a must and the study from life is a excellent teacher if one is guided by a good instructor.

Do not be swayed by a colorful picture, if the instructor is not able to produce a relatively good rendition from life that artist is laking.

I invite all comments and questions. I also invite personal questions, regarding art training, via PM or e-mail.
